Atheist...!?!



Yesterday we learnt how positive attitude helps.
Today let’s explore the power of FAITH…!


A committed atheist (that's someone who steadfastly does not believe in a GOD of any sort) was on a trekking holiday when he became lost in some dense woods. A large angry lion, with ten starving cubs back home and claws like kitchen knives, suddenly emerged from the undergrowth.

The atheist screamed in terror, turned and ran. The lion was quicker however, and after a long and desperate chase eventually cornered the atheist in a gully.

The exhausted atheist sank to his knees, shaking.

The lion, seeing that its prey was trapped, moved slowly towards the petrified man, drooling. The lion was drooling too. The atheist lifted his head, with tears in his eyes, and uttered the words he thought he would never say in all his life:
"God help me..."

With these simple three words, a blinding flash of lightning lit up the sky. There was a deafening crash of thunder. The clouds parted. A brilliant light shone down. The forest fell silent. The lion froze still, in a trance. The atheist stood gaping, transfixed. A voice came loud from above. Louder than twenty AC/DC concerts all happening at the same time. We can safely assume this voice to have been the voice of a god of some sort.

"You atheists make me seriously mad," boomed the GOD, "You deny me all your life. You tell others to deny me too. You put your faith in all that bloody Darwinian airy-fairy scientific nonsense, and then what a surprise - you get lost because you can't read your stupid map, and now you're about to get eaten by an angry lion all of a sudden you're on your knees sniveling and begging for my help…? You must be joking...!"

The atheist looked down, realizing that he was not well posed for argument... "Okay, I take your point," said the atheist, thinking on his feet, while he still had them, "I can see it's a bit late for me to convert, but what about the lion…? Maybe you could convert the lion instead…?"

"Hmm... interesting idea..." said the GOD, thinking hard, "...Okay. It shall be done!" At which the brilliant light dimmed and vanished; the clouds closed; and the noises of the forest resumed. The lion awoke and shook its head, a completely different expression on its face. Calm! At peace...!

The lion closed its eyes, bowed its head, and said,

"Lord, thank you for this food which I am about to receive, Amen…"

Faith really matters, no matter WHO practices it…!!!

See you tomorrow, stay tuned…!

Positivity...!?!



We have talked a lot about Inspiration, Motivation and Leadership at this place.
Today let’s discuss about Positive Attitude…

A landscape gardener ran a business that had been in the family for two or three generations. The staff was happy, and customers loved to visit the store, or to have the staff work on their gardens or make deliveries - anything from bedding plants to ride-on mowers.

For as long as anyone could remember, the current owner and previous generations of owners were extremely positive happy people.

Most folk assumed it was because they ran a successful business.

In fact it was the other way around...

A tradition in the business was that the owner always wore a big lapel badge, saying Business Is Great!

The business was indeed generally great, although it went through tough times like any other. What never changed however was the owner's attitude, and the badge saying Business Is Great!

Everyone who saw the badge for the first time invariably asked, "What's so great about business?" Sometimes people would also comment that their own business was miserable, or even that they personally were miserable or stressed.

Anyhow, the Business Is Great! Badge always tended to start a conversation, which typically involved the owner talking about lots of positive aspects of business and work, for example:

  • The pleasure of meeting and talking with different people every day
  • The reward that comes from helping staff take on new challenges and experiences
  • The fun and laughter in a relaxed and healthy work environment
  • The fascination in the work itself, and in the other people's work and businesses
  • The great feeling when you finish a job and do it to the best of your capabilities
  • The new things you learn every day - even without looking to do so and the thought that everyone in business is blessed - because there are many millions of people who would swap their own situation to have the same opportunities of doing a productive meaningful job, in a civilized well-fed country, where we have no real worries.

And so the list went on. And no matter how miserable a person was, they'd usually end up feeling a lot happier after just a couple of minutes listening to all this infectious enthusiasm and positivity.

It is impossible to quantify or measure attitude like this, but to one extent or another it's probably a self-fulfilling prophecy, on which point, if asked about the badge in a quiet moment, the business owner would confide:

"The badge came first. The great business followed."
More to come about the Attitude and Aptitude… Stay Tuned…!

Alone...!?!

Dear Indians,

Thank you very much for your overwhelming response to my 15th Augusts’ Blog.

Although I am impressed with your riposte, what I observed was most of the people want to blame it on the ‘System’ which they claim is completely corrupt and rotten. Even if we agree to that, it’s only us who can change it and to change the system you have to be in the system. You cannot be a bystander or a critic if you do not take the responsibility of the results and do your bit of change…

Others seem concerned about ‘how I alone can make a difference’…!?!

Apart from the documented fact that it always started with a one single person that changed the course of history, I would like to state something more lucid that is easy to understand and from the greatest GURU of all the races, creeds and times – The Nature…

If each grain of sand were to say:
One grain does not make a mountain,

THERE WOULD BE NO LAND.

If each drop of water were to say:
One drop does not make an ocean,
THERE WOULD BE NO SEA.

If each note of music were to say:
Each note does not make a symphony,
THERE WOULD BE NO MELODY.

If each word were to say:
One word does not make a library,
THERE WOULD BE NO BOOK.

If each brick were to say:
One brick does not make a wall,
THERE WOULD BE NO HOUSE.

If each seed were to say:
One seed does not make a field,
THERE WOULD BE NO HARVEST...

If each of us were to say:

One person does not make the difference,

THERE WOULD NEVER BE LOVE AND PEACE ON EARTH.

YOU AND I DO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

BEGIN TODAY AND MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.
